In particular, we investigate the influence of such a potential on the nonlinear transport properties of a quasi-1D Wigner solid (WS) by varying the amplitude of the periodic potential in a wide range. At zero and small values of amplitude, the quasi-1D WS in the microchannel shows expected features such as the Bragg-Cherenkov scattering of ripplons and re-entrant melting. As the amplitude of the potential increases, the above features are strongly suppressed. This behavior suggests the loss of long-range positional order in the electron system, which is reminiscent of re-entrant melting behavior due to lateral confinement of the WS in the channel.}, pages = {289--299}, title = {Transport Properties of a Quasi-1D Wigner Solid on Liquid Helium Confined in a Microchannel with Periodic Potential}, volume = {195}, year = {2018} }
